Europe during World War II. A serving German soldier and a Chinese student studying abroad meet through a misunderstanding, come to know each other as they spend time together, and fall in love amid hardship. With their loyalties divided, how can they make this relationship last?
A Chinese girl in a graceful cheongsam and a German soldier in a crisp uniform
A story of meeting, understanding, falling in love, and staying together amid the smoke and flames of war
No dazzling lights, no magnificent stage
Their love is caught in the instant between life and death
A blood-stained romance set against the backdrop of real history
No pale, invented world to escape into
They fall in love despairingly, clinging to hope when they cannot see a future
As the terrible war sweeps across the land
Who would you fall in love with?
(A friend online, who writes beautifully, helped me write this blurb for my little story. I thought it was so lovely that I had to post it here.)
At the end of June 2010, I finally made it to Europe. The first two countries I chose were where this story takes place: Austria and Germany. I wrote a travel journal, so if you're interested, take a look. Here's the link:

I hope they'll help you get a feel for the story. After all, this is where the love between our Walter and Yun began…
One more little ad: I've started a few new stories, all contemporary dramas. Two are part of the same series as this one, and the other two are urban romances. Feel free to have a look, and I'd love to hear your thoughts! Links below:
These two are the other installments in my European trilogy:
The Second Movement: http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=421404, The Rose of England, complete. It's safe to start reading. The Rose also contains a bonus story I wrote especially for this novel, featuring a little tale about the hero and heroine in their later years! Hehe...
The Third Movement: http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=528075. This one is complete, though the plot is relatively simple. I wonder if you'll like it.
Here are my urban romance stories: one is rather old-fashioned, while the other is a bit of an urban fantasy. It's quite melodramatic, so feel free to skip it if that's not your thing! :)
http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=488005, Beneath a Tender Sky, a rather old-fashioned romance, complete.
I've also recently started a historical novel, one of those palace dramas about the Qing dynasty that are all the rage these days. The protagonist is the seventh son of Kangxi. Here's the link:

I'm currently working hard on a romance set during the □□ years. My other stories are on hold for now. If you're interested, come take a look. Here's the link:

I have always loved World War II themed stories, it's so well written!
Haha, the little guy is so cute
The article is very good, please keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!
I searched on Jinjiang for a long time but found nothing interesting. I accidentally found this article and read it patiently. It felt so good. I shed tears several times in the middle. This article is great and worth collecting. It would be great if a book could be published. Regarding World War I and World War II, it is difficult for those of us who are far away from that era to feel the tension at that time. We always feel that it is someone else's business. But when I read this article, I felt as if I had experienced that war myself. Especially when I saw the chapter about the massacre of Jews, I often thought, if I were a Jew, if I lived in that turbulent era, would I also suffer from the mental torture of not knowing whether I would be able to see the sun tomorrow?
Such a rare article, come down and take a look
Sweat~! It's so advanced~ It has the function of recording phone calls so early. It is estimated that at that time, our country was still using the kind of phone that shook back and forth.
Uh, just change the name, haha! Dad, I came up today and found out that the message I posted here yesterday was the one that the system said was unsuccessful. In fact, I haven't finished it yet. I would like to ask if you can tell me your email address, or I can leave mine and you can contact me again? Thank you and looking forward to your answer! Author's reply: Thank you Huihui for being as consistent as ever. I'd better tell you my email address, or all friends who want to contact me can contact me through this email address. My email address is: xy666171@sohu. Com. I hope I can have a good communication with everyone!
It's so weird that my comments have always been unsuccessful. Why does Jinjiang discriminate against me like this? I'm so anxious! By the way, I'm Violet
I am definitely not disappointed. I am very happy to see that each of them is living so well. As a reader, I am also very happy. However, Dr. Bouvet is a bit pitiful and is still trying to find the whereabouts of his wife. I hope he can find his wife as soon as possible.
JJ has been pumping for a long time and finally I can see it~~~JJ is not so tenacious when pumping
